PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Maybe. In which case, perhaps he shouldn't have said anything in the first place then!

Perhaps he was stitched up or misled by someone who started the rumour. Spreading of negative false narratives has been a feature of the UEFA and PL cases from the very start. All the UEFA leaks turned out to be false but even papers like The Times were duped.

Remember them falling for the Jack the Ripper diaries too.
 
If & thats a big if that there is some traction in the 40 points deduction, why such a meaningless number because any deduction would mean that we've been found guilty in some form of false accounting. I might be wrong but I thought we couldn't get anything more than a fine for the non-cooperation

I was told the night before the CAS verdict came out that that’s where the info came from. I posted it on here at the time and I’ve still got the date stamped WhatsApps that I can send to you if you want ;)

Fair enough.

Although if I was an employee at the club, and spreading the news of a 40 point deduction; I'd probably be more concerned about the mass redundancies than are likely to follow, given that a 40 point deduction would likely come from us being found guilty of fraudulent accounting.

I'd probably then go down the bookies and have a few hundred quid on us to get relegated at 10/1.

Or maybe Bluemoon is trying to trap Magic Hat into repeating this bollox which M18 and Ric colluded over.
What you might call “a cunning plan”

I can assure you that there's definitely been no collusion between myself and Ric on this, but what you've said has given me an idea that we can put all kinds of negative rumours out there which will have Nick "Magic Twat" Harris wanking furiously over! I daresay that if he's seen the stuff about the 40 points - and he will have seen it because it's the worst kept secret in the world that the obsessed **** is always browsing this forum - then he may be a tad disappointed ;)
 
Would that be put on our current tally, or would we start next season on minus 40? That would be a fucking cracking challenge for Pep.

There was a distinct change in the Times overage towards City after they were misled about the UEFA case. The CAS decision made them look stupid. A lot of fake news has been circulated. This Forum, biased as we all are, has mostly been reliable so far.

Yup and 'double yup' to your last two sentences.

I 'engage' with the various media outlets as in how one would engage using the proverbial 'ten foot barge pole'. If I want to know about anything City, I get it from here, warts and all, tribal or whatever.

It has amazed me down through the years of this concerted, malevolent assault on our club, orchestrated by the Red Cartel and others at home and abroad who have cronied up with that Cartel, that not one of those media outlets has taken up the very sensible offerings posted in here by so many well-informed Blues to investigate openly and properly just WHY all of this has happened, just WHY City has been targeted in this way. Surely there's an article or a programme therein which could not only be of interest but which could be 'media gold'?

Of course, of course, I DO know the answer(s) to that naive observation of mine. But it really f**ks me off that, after sixteen years of constant vilification, hardly anyone in the media has ever stepped up and said about us (what I call the 'Sergeant Wilson Contribution'!) 'Hang on a minute.. do you think that's wise, sir?'

2nd most expensive property purchase in London and Starmer in Abu Dhabi with his begging bowl ! Not sure this backs up Cheesey’s 40 points jackanory !

I guess the window for any government intervention in this has long since passed, but it seems inconceivable that the 115 case won't come up during Starmer's visit, especially if he is desperately seeking investment for the UK. A British institution, in the form of the Premier League, is actively seeking to sabotage a multi-billion pound asset of the vice president and deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates. There's no way that's just getting swept under the carpet for the sake of diplomacy.

Agree that there can’t be any intervention - that ship sailed a long time ago. But the idea that Starmer is visiting Abu Dhabi with a begging bowl at a time an Independent Tribunal is listening is to the Premier League charge one of their royal family and some of their most important major corporations of a wide scale fraud conspiracy is truly bizarre.

TV footage of Mansour greeting Starmer with warm smiles and friendly hugs while agreeing to pump investment into the UK is going to provoke a social media/media meltdown.

The IC members don’t exist in a bubble. They will be aware of the potential diplomatic, political and economic ramifications of finding against City on the serious charges of fraudulent accounting. To reach a guilty verdict will require compelling documentary evidence and if the PL had that evidence City would have reached a compromise settlement with the PL a long time ago.
